... position at the CIA all the more untenable, yet he was not without influential supporters. His most highly placed admirer was Herman E Kimsey, a former Army intelligence officer who served as CIA's Chief of Research and Analysis from 1954 to 1962. As Allen Dulles' right-hand man, Kimsey was also said to have been in charge of recruiting assassins for the Agency. Forced out of the CIA with Allan Dulles following the Bay of Pigs fiasco, Kimsey later asserted publicly that Goleniewski had been tested by CIA experts for fingerprints, blood diseases, dental work, and other characteristics, and had been confirmed as the Czarevitch. Others who supported Goleniewski's lineage included the John Birch Society ( ...

(c) www.lobster-magazine.co.uk (Issue 55) Summer 2008 Last| Contents| Next Issue 55 Sources The assassinations of the 1960s A recently discovered sound recording of the assassination of Robert Kennedy shows that there was indeed a second shooter in the room. At least 13 shots were fired according to the analysis by Philip Van Praag, an expert in the 'forensic analysis of magnetic media recordings'. Sirhan Sirhan's gun could contain only 8 rounds.(1) The best single article on the assassination of Martin Luther King I know is Jim Douglass, 'The Martin Luther King conspiracy exposed in Memphis'.(2) This article is based round the successful (but almost entirely unreported ...

Kilgallen said if the story is true it would (one word illegible: cause?) terrible embarrassment to Jack and his plans to have NASA put men on the moon.' (Square brackets and words within them in the original.) After the assassination of JFK Kilgallen visited Jack Ruby and, according to the late Penn Jones, shortly before her death in 1965 from an apparent overdose of barbiturates and alcohol, she claimed that she was going to New Orleans to blow the case apart. Her death was included in Penn Jones' list of suspicious deaths linked to the assassination. And ...

... in the programme was outspoken barrister Michael Shrimpton, whose flamboyant behaviour may not have won over many converts to the 'Kelly was murdered' camp. An earlier outing on The Alex Jones Show,(17) however, had allowed him another opportunity to air his views. Shrimpton put forward the possibility that the' tasking for [Kelly's] assassination... was generated in the UK, went to Paris, was then OK'd in Paris [The] operational agency for the assassination was DGSE'. The DGSE, according to Shrimpton,' in order to false-flag the assassination, should their team be discovered, used Iraqi intelligence assets from the Iraqi Mukhabarat agency that were available ...

... that will be a real shake if they do that. MILTEER: They wouldn't leave any stone unturned there, no way. They will pick somebody up within hours afterwards, if anything like that would happen. Just to throw the public off. What Milteer says here has largely been interpreted by the critical community as advance knowledge of the assassination, but is it? A less widely reproduced part of the tape has Milteer saying a sharp shooter in a hotel overlooking the White House could pick JFK off in the garden, and he even names a possible assassin, a Jack Brown (who he?). Had Milteer described some unique way of killing JFK and had that ...

... of casualties that they could not sustain. This was the reality of the war in the early 1990s. Of equal importance was the rising level of loyalist attacks on the Catholic population in general and the republican movement in particular. From the time of the Anglo- Irish Agreement of 1985 loyalist paramilitaries had been stepping up their campaign of sectarian assassination. By 1992, they were accounting for a majority of the killings in Northern Ireland. Retaliatory action by the IRA only made the situation worse with the prospect of more and more people being killed and maimed in both communities at no cost to the British. There can be little doubt that this was an important factor in the Provisional ...

... ameliorating a tense situation engendered by Daniel Ellsberg's peccadilloes with the mistress of a Corsican'. Here we return to the enchantress Germaine, her opium-addicted Corsican fiancé, Michel Seguin, and a new character in our passion play, Frank Scotton. In 1965 Scotton was ostensibly employed by the U.S. Information Service, although his undercover job was forming assassination squads around Saigon in what was the prototype of the CIA's infamous Phoenix Program. Through this experimental program, which fell under Ed Lansdale's RD Program, Scotton and Ellsberg met and became the best of friends. In fact, it was Scotton who had invited Ellsberg to the party where the fateful meeting with Germaine occurred. What happened next ...

... Stockwell who testified before the Kissinger Commission on Central America. He writes: "During my hour and a half testimony most of the commissioners repeatedly indicated that they believed today's Nicaragua to be as bad or worse than Nicaragua under Somoza; Mr Kissinger made it clear that he believes Nicaragua is as bad as or worse than Nazi Germany." Assassination of Robert Kennedy Just published in the UK is Thomas Noguchi's Coroner To the Stars (Coronet 1984) Noguchi was Los Angeles coroner and had a lot of famous corpses to examine. One of them was RFK's. In this book he repeats his original conclusions that Kennedy was shot at point blank range from the rear- i.e. not ...

... ashamed to think that we are still subject to special supervision.' (Emphasis added.) Protectorate is a good 1930s word which fits rather well. Britain as another US protectorate? (5) Garrison and Permindex again In an article in the American journal The Wilson Quarterly of Spring 2001, Max Holland reexamined Jim Garrison's investigation of the assassination of JFK and concluded that he was at least in part inspired to do so by some Soviet disinformation about the case. Yes, we are back with the story of Clay Shaw, Permindex, CMC et al, which has been running in the margins of the JFK literature since the late 1960s. Briefly, 5,000 words ...
